To Kimberly, My Love Poem by David N. Munene

Show me how low low can be
that low may never get low than me
Yet standing on a high let me see
That having a darling as you is vast as sea
Tall and high as a cliff can be
Sticky and warm as that side called lee?

Just a smile to light up today,
Is all I ask of you for my today
Or even though, I may be away
Today is a day I’ll love before it’s away
Can’t you see that today the day awaits you at bay?
That your smile may light up the day
And run the day today not to sway astray

The thought of you is brilliant
Imagining you smile is radiant
It lacerates my mouth to smiley lips that are ambient
Stealing my feelings from a mixture so variant
Soon before imagination crops in with agitation to joy grant,
I laugh at myself with your ghost who’s never a coolant
Temperature with no heat in the argument,
Is a tithe of what you bring to my heart in a pant
